Johnny 5 is Alive!

He’s gorgeous, what species is he?

Just found it - neogonodactylus curacaoensis.
IMHO, one of the nicer of the Mantis species.

Murderbug was quite excited to come show me how pretty and shiny he is after his molt.

His eyes are so unusual but pretty!

What a ham! One of my favorite threads Still have my eye out for a mantis mansion/curacaoensis in the *hopefully+ not too distant future!

He's such a stud. Watching his eyes move and focus is so interesting.

He's truly a character! I love how much personality he has.
Watching him put up with the dottyback tail flicking him becomes comical.

I was educated at The Aquatic Expo in Charlotte earlier this month, and Murderbug is in fact Gonodactylaceus ternatensis, or Orange Spot Mantis.
